Crux

[Verse 1: MIKE]
Ay, ay
I was in graves then, couldn't take a day off
Days in, ain't you tryna take off?
It didn't make sense but I had to stay calm
Nah, you didn't face shit, I was facin' A-, uh
Watch my face fall like I faced off
I keep pushing if a Jake talk
I’m always moving, love to Jay-walk
Praying for tomorrow, what today for
I be playin' 'cause I’m 'bout it, I don’t take score
Lotta niggas shaped, I never fake for it
Plus it make the day short, wake me to a grey morning
Sister talking to the judge, they took my poppa to the same court
You was the plug, I had to change cords
Eighteen, I felt strange for us
You niggas dated

[Chorus: MIKE]
This an acclaimed sport, why I keep my chain on
Shit to give me faith for, many brothers brains lost
Lost up in the game
Ever since the rain come shit ain't been the same
That's why I keep my chain on
Shit to give me faith, many brothers brains lost
Lost up in the game
Ever since the rain come shit ain't been the same
That's why I keep my chain on
Shit to give me faith, many brothers brains lost
Lost up in the game
Ever since the rain come shit ain't been the same
That's why I keep my chain on
That's why I keep my chain on
He climbed an impossible vertical wall
Shit to give me faith

[Verse 2: Wiki]
Right here, right? Y'heard (Yeah)
Keep my chain on, when the rain come
My chain gold so my chain good
Keep my faith strong
Gotta take on, life face on
Hide face from the wild fake ones
Style making, sly snaking
The child Satans running round, this a wild nation
Gotta smile but denial chasing
'Long as you aware, be prepared to be lying naked
You just awoke up from your dream and you tryn' face it
But it's quite clear, woke up to the nightmare
Thinkin' back, coulda sworn, was right there
Sittin' back in your night chair
Aight yeah, remember the times
Rain came, we all jetted inside
But you stayed, got drenched and just dried up in the sun
Water, rain, comes
Yeah, I changed, but I always kept my chain on

[Outro]
He climbed for nearly two hours, just to reach the base of the climb (Yeah, yeah)
Do you feel the adrenaline now?
Does the challenge appeal to you?
If he moved too slowly, his arms would give out
But if he rushed, he could slip and fall (Yeah)
